Author's Tranquility Press Unveils a Chilling Literary

Where Faith Meets Fear in the Heart of Mormon Country
Author's Tranquility Press is proud to announce the release of Roy Goodliffe's gripping new novel, In the Shadow of the Temple [https://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Temple-Roy-Goodliffe/dp/1966088566/ref=monarch_sidesheet_title]. This masterfully crafted thriller plunges readers into the dark underbelly of Salt Lake City, where a brutal murder in the most sacred of spaces unravels a conspiracy century in the making.

When Donald Rigdon, a powerful Mormon administrator, is found with his throat slit in a seemingly ordinary maintenance shed on Temple Square, rookie reporter Brent Ketchum sees the story that could make his career. But as he digs deeper, he uncovers more than he bargained for. His investigation pulls him into a world he never imagined, from a charismatic Satanist named Septimius Seldon, demanding his religious rights in a state prison, to whispers of a secretive, ancient order known as the Templars, whose tendrils may have infiltrated the very foundations of the modern church.

Brent's quest for the truth is a dangerous tightrope walk. He must navigate between his devout Mormon friend, Stacy Petersen, who first discovered the eerie secret beneath the shed's floorboards, and the church's new, belligerent Temple President, Silas Higby, who seems determined to stonewall the investigation at every turn. With a cast of unforgettable characters- including a cynical bartender who serves up wisdom with his whiskey, a beautiful and sharp-wired communications director with her own ambitions, and a mysterious academic who knows too much-In the Shadow of the Temple is a relentless page-turner.

Goodliffe weaves a complex tapestry of history, religion, and suspense, exploring the dark corners where faith and fanaticism collide. This is not just a murder mystery; it's a profound exploration of power, belief, and the shadows cast by towering institutions. The novel daringly asks: What ancient secrets connect the Knights Templar to the birth of Mormonism? And who is willing to kill to keep them buried?

Perfect for fans of Dan Brown's historical conspiracies and the atmospheric tension of James Lee Burke, In the Shadow of the Temple is a provocative and utterly compelling read that will keep you guessing until the final, shocking conclusion.

Don't miss this electrifying journey into the heart of a mystery. Grab your copy today!

In the Shadow of the Temple is now available for purchase on Amazon [https://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Temple-Roy-Goodliffe/dp/1966088566/ref=monarch_sidesheet_title]in Hardcover, Paperback, and eBook formats.
